What's interesting about a picture like this is that the beauty of the Wasp is trully captured with the close-up. I think people sometimes forget that there are other insects then butterflies with a trully beautiful concept to them. I'm a big fan of bees, wasps and flies.

Why flies? I guess because they are about the most misunderstood and hated insects out there. It's interesting to see how they survive and we can always relate it to the world around us.
